Matthew 11 (BOU)

1Yesu ekubindaho kuwekha miagiiyo wahina wakwe, akalawa aho, akaita kuhinya na kubiikia mwe mizi yao uko Galilaya.After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

2Yohana ekuwaho mwe kifungo nee asikia mbui za Klistu, akawaagiiya wahina wakwe, waite kumuuza,Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples

3weye nee yuda ezae, hambu timkauwiye mtuhu?to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

4Yesu akawatambaisa, “Hitani mkamgombekee Yohana mbui mtegeezazo na kuziona,Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:

5matuntu waona, wesaokudaha kwenda wenda, na viziba wategeeza, na wenye utamu wa nyoka wasuntika na wekuuyao na nyuma wayuyuswa, na wakiwa wabiikiwa Mbui Yedi.The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

6Endaawe na nyemi mntu yuda ambae khana maatu na miye.”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

7Wada wahina wa Yohana wekuwaho wakahauka, Yesu akavoka kugombeka na dia zumwezumwe kuusu Yohana, Mbatiiza. Akawauza, “Mwekuitaho kuda he nyika, mwita kukauwa mbwai? Ivi nee mkakunda kuona inde dikasingiswa ni khusi?As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

8Inga khivyo, mwiita kukauwa mbwai? Mwiita kukauwa mntu mwekwehasika magwanda matana? Wantu wehasikao magwanda inga ayo, wekaa mwe nyumba ya Maseuta.Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothing are found in kings’ palaces.

9Naho, mwita kukauwa mbwai? Muoni wa Muungu? Haika nawamba, nee mwiita kumuona mntu ekuwaye mkuu kusima muoni.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

10Uyo nee ambae mbui zakwe ziandikwa mwe Maandiko ya Muungu, ‘Kauwa namuagiiya mwagiiwa yangu aniongweee, mwendayeagosoe sia he meso yako.’This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

11Nagombeka kwei mwa wantu wekuvyaigwao na wavyee, khazati kulawiiya mntu mkuu inga Yohana Mbatiiza, akini ambae ni mdodo muno mwe useuta wa uwanga kwa Muungu, ni mkuu kusima YohanaTruly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

12Kuvokea kisingi cha Yohana Mbatiiza adi isasa Useuta wa uwanga kwa Muungu wapatikana kwa nguvu, naho wantu wenye udaho wageeza kuudoa.From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.

13Kwaviya miko ya Musa na waoni wose na wazitamwiiya mbui za useuta wa Muungu wendavyo uwe kwa kisingi iki.For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

14Ikawa mwakunda kuzumia ido, yee Yohana nee uyo Eliya ambae waoni newawa wakagombeka endaeze.And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

15Yee mwenye magutwi na ategeeze!He who has ears, let him hear.

16“Akini nikiiganiye na mbwai kivyazi iki? Kiigana na wana wekaao gwiiyo, wawetangao wezwao na kuwagombeka,To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

17‘Nee tiwatoea ngoma na wala khamwekuvina, na titoa wiya za bwaimbo na wala khamwekuiya.’‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

18Kwaviya Yohana Mbatiiza keza akehiniza kuda na wala kuidomea divai, nao wakamwamba, ‘Kakwewa na mazaiko.’For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

19Mwana wa Mntu keza, ada khande na kudomea, nao wakamwamba. ‘Mkauweni uyu ni mmeo, na ni mkozi, wambuya wakwe ni watoza ushuu na wenye mavigaviga!’ Ata ivyo unyanyi wa Muungu imanyika kuwa niyedi kulawana na ndima yakwe.”The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”

20Ndiho Yesu akavoka kuihaza mizi ida ambayo kaigosweeya vihii vingi kusima kutuhu, kwaviya wantu wakwe khawakubada mavigaviga.Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

21Wendawakione wantu wa Kolozini! Wendawakione wantu wa Betisaida! Inga vihii vyekugosokavyo aha henu ati nee vigosoka kuda Tilo na Sidoni, wantu wakwe newavaa kae magwanda ya gunia na kwesisa mazeu na kuonyesha wabada mavigaviga.“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22Nagombeka kwei yendaiwe ihuha kwa wantu wa mizi ya Tilo na Sidoni kuzizimiza mwe msi wa kuamuiwa wa Muungu kusima aha henu.But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

23Na nywie wantu wa Kapelinaumu, ivi wenda wenulwe adi uwanga kwa Muungu? Eehe, wenda useezwe adi si ya wekuyao nyuma, kwaviya inga vihii vyekugosokavyo aho hako inga nevigosoka mwe Sodoma mzi uwo neukeaho adi ivyeo.And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.

24Akini nagombeka kwei, msi wakuamwiiwa weye wenda wekhigwe sugusa khuu kusima ya Sodoma.But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

25Kisingi icho Yesu akagombeka, “Nakutogoa ee Tate, Zumbe wa uwanga na wa inusi, kwaviya kuwafisa wenye unyanyi na umanyi, na ukawagubwiiya wana wadodo.At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

26Eehe, Tate nee vyekukutamiavyo.Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27“Tate yangu kanekha vintu vyose. Khahana ammanyae Mwana iya Tate, nawala ammanyae Tate iya Mwana, na yoyose yuda ambae Mwana akunda kumgubwiiya uyo endaammanye Tate.All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.

28“Sooni aha hangu nywie nyose muangadikao na kuzamiwa na mafuushi, na miye nendaniwahumwiize.Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29Mzumiye kuongoewa na miye inga viya njeku afungwaho nila kisingi cha kuima, mkehine kulawa kwangu, kwaviya miye niyedi naho ni mnyenyekevu wa moyo, na nywie mwenda mwekhigwe nyemi.Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30Kwaviya yendaiwe vihufu kwenu kwamana mahinyo yangu ni mahufu.”For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
